outlining my thoughts about presidential debates because i've watched them since the first ones with nixon and kennedy. the first ground is be who you are. you're not going to change somebody at his age who's done things very successfully. don't take advice from consultants who want you to somehow imaginely be non-mitt. my second advice is walk in determined to draw very sharp, clear lines with president obama. i frankly was startled by the ad you just showed a minute ago in which romney is in a sense embracing obama. we both care about the middle class. i don't know why he's saying that. if president obama cared about the middle class, why did the price of gasoline go to an all-time high? why do we have the largest debt in american history which the middle class will pay on for the entire rest of their lifetime? if president obama cared about the middle class, why have we had the longest unemployment rate? i think it's a mistake to be clever. i think he ought to draw clear sharp signs say here's where we've been under obama, here's where we go under omney. do you want obama stagnation? he

>> reporter: richard nixon chose to wear no makeup. with a 5:00 shadow, he looked sweaty and uncomfortable compared to the tan, relaxed john f. kennedy. in 2011, voters watching this debate heard the impatient sighs of vice president al gore. while george w. bush was talking. both moments played into a larger narrative of the campaigns by reinforcing what viewers already thought about the candidates. >> when gore sighed endlessly and moaned during the debate and we saw that on television, it just emphasized the idea that he was arrogant and condescending, something people were already concerned about. when nixon was sweating, there was some sense that he was already shifty and there was an anxiety in his soul as well as his body. >> that's what the question in this campaign is about. >> reporter: in a later debate that year, gore appeared to invade the personal space of bush. a move which made him look awkward compared to his relaxed opponent. and in 1992, george h.w. bush was caught twice by cameras glancing at his watch during a town
